@megjosephson: feeling guilty for everything you do. I talk about this feeling lots in my book!! walking around with a feeling that you’re “bad”.. you’re not alone 🤎 #therapist #anxiety #eldestdaughter

mikis :

Because it isn't guilt, it's shame

Lyss :

Fellow Catholics what’s upppp

maskpool👻 :

what if i feel shame for everything i do

Ez :

I just always feel like I'm in trouble 😭

merani :

My therapist helped me reframe my guilt from “I feel bad/guilty” to “I feel uncomfortable” which is sooo helpful

Britt Lands :

This is highly intertwined with capitalism and the patriarchy.

Pirita :

oh I just re-realised how I'm feeling unworthy when doing anything

jasmine ❄️ :

my brain knows Im not supposed to feel guilt, but my body feels otherwise ..

hlp1266 :

This! Same thing with shame. Guilt is “I did” and shame is “I am” so then it turns into “I feel guilty for resting because I am lazy.” The hardest thing for me was differentiating between guilt and shame. Because my shame made my guilt feel justified. I still struggle

Molly Says :

I am practicing talking to myself in the 3rd person because I would never talk to a friend the way I talk to myself.

Maria :

Spot on 🫪 thank you

Loves chips 🍪🍟 :

Whenever I feel shame I always hear my mother’s voice shaming me like she did when I was a child. I didn’t think to reframe it to ask if it was against my own morals and values and not hers.

Rogério :

I feel guilty for existing

Shaden :

I always feel like Im doing something wrong

The Third Pill :

Guilt can be an alarm, but it isn’t always a verdict. A useful test might be: is this feeling pointing to a repair I can make, or asking me to shrink so everyone else stays comfortable?

Karen | OCD & Anxiety | 40+ :

the "walking around feeling like you're bad" line got me. thought that was just my personality for 40 years.
